| QUOTATION: | Democratic government’s capacity for Byzantine deviousness is probably best told by that epochal best-teller, the Pentagon Papers—that “hemorrhage” of classified matter, as Henry Kissinger ruefully called it—which dramatized, in 47 volumes, just how far a government could go in clandestine and illicit duplicity. |
